G                             (walk up) 
I hide from myself in reality 
B7 
 Livin? down in Austin chasin? crazy dreams 
C                                               
Nobody but my girlfriend thinks I?ll be a star 
A7 
 Another night singin? to an empty bar 
G                                                     (walk up) 
But I put on a smile And act like everything is right 
B7 
 Prayin? to God To get me through another night 
C 
Everybody?s makin? it down here but me it seems 
A7 
 It?s kinda like Hollywood in faded jeans 
 
(CHOURS:) 
 
G (w up )B7        C         (w down) A7 
This Travis County Heartbreak 
        G D              G 
Is gonna be the death of me 
 
I go downtown and I drink too much 
I throw them down just to lift my spirits up 
Round after round the same old remedy 
My social disease oh, it?s killin? me 
Yeah, the mornin? sun into my bloodshot eyes 
Another late night helps me realize 
That I'm not the only one that has a song to sing 
And that?s the truth that keeps scarin? me 
 
(chours) 
 
If I could find a way 
To finally make it here 
Kill these demons 
And face my fears 
Run them out 
And burn them to the ground 
And finally make a name  
In this Godforsaken town 
 
(chours x2) 
 
Note: The chours is played just like the intro, and the first 2 words on the
second row is spoke more then it's sang.
